Seeding the random state with get_cycles() is functionally equivalent on the architectures which provide get_cycles(), but it does not make sense semantically.
Use random_get_entropy() instead, which is the proper interface. This is part of a larger effort to remove get_cycles() usage from non-architecture code.
